The Role of Forests and Wood Products in Building a Zero Carbon Future

At COP28 Australia announced its pledge to join the ‘Initiative for Greening Construction with Sustainable Wood’. Seventeen countries have committed to increasing the use of wood products in the built environment by 2030. This pledge is recognition that a global approach to building policies can deliver reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and an increase in the amount of carbon stored in our buildings.
This webinar will explore the detail of how forest and wood products can play a major role in building a zero-carbon future for Australia. We invite two of Australia’s leading experts on carbon who will dive into the three new Carbon Guides released by Forest & Wood Products Australia and WoodSolutions.
